When else would you want the alarm to activate if only by the door being opened.....?

I would like my Ramboxes and tailgate covered by the alarm. Some shock protection would be nice as well. My Explorer had a similar type of factory alarm. My Wife left her purse under the front passenger seat while we ran into my Parents house to pick up our daughter. In the 10 minutes we were in there, someone threw a large rock though the passenger window and reached in and stole her purse. Alarm didn't go off since they never opened the door.

Seems my alarm arms regardless of doors or open or closed when locking with key fob. Based on blinking light.

However I too now am looking into shock, proximity, and glass break sensors. Any one have a good advice for a customizable system that could be added to the factory set up? I already have remote start etc. So don't necessarily need a whole new full blown system installed.
